Piper Heidsieck Champagne Extra Brut Essentiel 750 ML

It all began with Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Born in Westphalia in 1749, this son of a Protestant minister started out as a draper in Reims where he fell in love with a girl from Champagne? and with the wine from Champagne. He was a self-educated man, overcome with the incredible ambition ?to make a cuvee worthy of a queen?. In 1785 he founded the Cloth and Wine Trading Company Heidsieck & Co. He straightaway made his name with a distinctive champagne, whose reputation quickly spread beyond the local region and won favour at court.
